Will I have as much self control and discipline as I want after surgery?

This may seem like and odd question, but it has been hovering over me for days and days. I am 22 days away from surgery and I would like to believe that afterwards I can be Superwoman. Anyone out there who went in with extreme motivation to eat the right portions, stick to liquids and soft foods for as long as you are supposed to, get your protein, avoid carbs, get all of your water in, exercise every day, no grazing, etc, etc...only to find out after that you just can't be perfect about it? I see so many people who break little rules here and there. They may be itty-bitty non-consequential rule breaking, but none-the-less I really don't want to do that at all. I am afraid though, that no matter how positive I think now, that it is going to be impossible later. Did anyone feel like this and still manage to do it? Anyone who felt like this going in and found out after that they just couldn't? I know...I am a neurotic freak, but help!
